I discovered a few nice photographs I took whilst travelling through the norwegian part of Lapland. Since I'll be on a sesshin with Doko Waskönig [a German teacher in Nishijima Roshi's lineage] from tomorrow onwards, maybe you can post them on our Treeleaf forum on my behalf as part of the picture thread?

There were several of these odd blue stones on the side of the road. My daughters and I were camping in northern Wisconsin in August, and as we rolled out of a state park, I caught a glimpse of these through the brush. I had to climb up onto one of them to get the picture- I definitely think it was worth it!

I'm really enjoying the wonderful level of creativity everyone is sharing. I'll post another something in a bit.

Wouldn't it be fun to pick a day and time and have anyone who's interested take a photo at that day, at that time, wherever they are, whatever they are doing, then post it? Like a dharma moment in all our lives just to see what that "same" instant looks like through our varying facets of the jewel. (We could try to syncronize for the *actual same instant but I think our time zones are disparate enough to make Will have to get up at 2AM and take a picture of his blankies. :P )

Speaking of blankies, mine are singing a siren song and the four cats await. Nite.

Lynn,

That sounds like a very interesting experiment... throw a dart at a calendar and let us know the date/time you come up with... maybe start a new thread for this and repeat every so often....
